Development of a versatile nuclease prime editor with upgraded precision

Strategies to improve the specificity of nuclease-based prime editor (PEn) are needed. Here the authors report a 53BP1-inhibitory ubiquitin variant-assisted PEn platform (uPEn) to inhibit NHEJ and enable precise prime editing for generation of insertions, deletions and replacements.
